Description

DAVID, LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD and PRINCE

LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD:
perhaps the most famous little girl in the world

The fairy tale of Little Red Riding Hood is one of the most famous stories by the Brothers Grimm. Over the generations, it has been reinterpreted time and again – in dramas, operas, films and the visual arts. The story has long since moved on from being just a fairy tale and has become an integral part of our culture.

Little Red Riding Hood completes the round

Of course, such an iconic fairytale character should not be missing from the world of ODD B IRDS: LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD reduces the well-known story to its most succinct elements and translates them into glass. The red cape, the bright dress – that’s all it takes.

A bright accent in the garden

As a light object, LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD brings a bright splash of color to the garden or patio. The combination of red and white looks fresh and light without being obtrusive. The smiling red mouth and bright blue eyes give the object a cheerful appearance.

An object that does not make the viewer think of Little Red Riding Hood at first glance and yet brings a quiet, fairytale-like tone to the surroundings.

The second brood

Special edition ODD BIRDS

The second brood

In the summer of 2019, Stani Jan Borowski’s ODD BIRDS hatched successfully from glowing glass for the very first time. In 2020, a second brood of charismatic characters followed—each one falling out of the societal nest of “normality.” All of them are outsiders, outcasts, misunderstood, black sheep or eccentrics who made it to world fame. They captivate us, fascinate us and move us. Why? Perhaps because they ask us to stand by ourselves and courageously go our own way.

Here you can see the video produced by Stani Jan Borowski in the glass manufactory for the presentation of his "second brood".

Light object

BOROWSKI Light Objects

Every outdoor space is enhanced by light – it creates a sense of safety and adds a special atmosphere.

Our light objects are designed as outdoor sculptures and easily withstand the effects of wind and weather all year round. Of course, they can also be used indoors.

Elegant, atmospheric – and a little bit magical

Add a touch of enchantment to your favorite spot in the garden or on your balcony! Whether as a cheerful eye-catcher among your flower beds, a striking art piece on the lawn, or playfully placed in a tree or on your house wall – there are no limits to your creativity. In summer, they invite you to linger with their ambient glow. In winter, they defy frost and darkness, bringing cheer with their vibrant colors and warm light.

The light objects come with a 6-meter outdoor cable.
Bulbs are included.

Manual Work

A Fusion of Tradition, Craftsmanship and Innovation

Exclusive glass art from the Borowski glass factory

Each object shown here reflects the craftsmanship of our glassmakers. What appears lighthearted, playful, and full of color is in fact created through a demanding and often physically challenging production process. Today, only a small number of people and glass studios worldwide still master the traditional art of glassmaking.

At the Borowski Glass Studio, nearly all known techniques of hot and cold glassworking can be applied. This exceptional range of possibilities allows our artists to continuously develop new ideas and bring even highly ambitious, experimental visions to life in glass.

The brothers Stani-Jan, Wiktor, and Pawel Borowski learned to work with the blowpipe and molten glass from the ground up. While Wiktor primarily oversees sales, Pawel and Stani-Jan still work daily at the furnace in the glass studio themselves.

As each object is mouth-blown and traditionally handcrafted, slight variations in color, shape, and size are unavoidable. Small air inclusions in the glass are characteristic features of genuine handcrafted studio glass and should not be regarded as flaws, but rather as signs of its individual production process.

Outdoor Objects

OUTDOOR OBJECTS

SUNNY AND SAFE – IN ALL WEATHERS

The friendly figures and characters of the OUTDOOR OBJECTS ensure “fabulous” encounters in gardens and parks – in the true sense of the word. As if from another world chameleons, birds, armadillos, and all sorts of creatures appear – bringing a little piece of their world into our own. The OUTDOOR OBJECTS create a wonderful link to their environment – inviting their owners to smile, dream and linger. These highly individual, happy visitors will enliven your garden or balcony and give your favourite spot a very special magic.

The OUTDOOR OBJECTS are weatherproof and can stand outside all year long. All these art objects are handmade and hand blown with the utmost care.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When fastening your object, you should make sure that it stands securely and does not wibble or tip over, even in wind or knocks. Use the mounting eyelets we provide for this purpose. Position your object so that it is safe from falling rocks or braking branches. Keep in mind that the objects are very heavy due to their quality and protruding parts (e.g. beaks, eyes, ears, tails, crowns) are not suitable as handles.
